Adding Custom Post Types to RSS feed

Looking to add CPTUI custom post types to my main RSS feed. I was able to find a tutorial and it works, kinda but the RSS feed changes every time i check it, old posts show up and incorrect order. This is for mailchimp.

Tutorial: https://docs.pluginize.com/article/148-how-to-add-your-custom-post-type-to-rss-feeds

My Feed:https://www.snyder-associates.com/category/transportation/feed/

function my_cptui_add_post_types_to_rss( $query ) {
// We do not want unintended consequences.
if ( ! $query->is_feed() ) {
return;
}

// Replace these slugs with the post types you want to include.
$cptui_post_types = array(‘snyder-projects’);

$query->set(
‘post_type’,
array_merge(
array( ‘post’ ),
$cptui_post_types
)
);
}
add_filter( ‘pre_get_posts’, ‘my_cptui_add_post_types_to_rss’ );

As far as I’m aware, the code used above is the way to do this. So you have the CPTs in your feed. Regarding the seemingly random or incorrect order, I wonder if there’s other things being done that are contributing to that part. For example I know I saw a bunch of utm_* url parts being added as well.

If i substitute ‘snyder-projects’ for ‘podcasts’ everything works perfectly even with the UTMs.

What i am thinking is that ‘snyder-projects’ isnt created by Custom Post Type UI but is created by a site specific plugin a company created for us.

‘podcasts’ = Custom Post Type UI = works
‘snyder-projects’ = site specific plugin = doesnt work

If this is the case why wouldnt the code above work?

Impossible for me to say, they could be doing a lot of extra things with the site-specific post types that I’m not able to be aware of.

Only thing I can say for sure is that the code above is how I’d end up adding extra post types to specific feeds as needed.

My question is that: Is the code above only meant to pull in custom post types created by “Custom Post Type UI?”

The only things specific to CPTUI in the code you originally copied and modified from our documentation is the named variable and the function name, both which could be renamed to whatever you want. Everything else with your copy above would work in adding the post type to the feed regardless of the presence of CPTUI.

@mdavila825 did you ever get this solved?
